Tacit knowledge

A classroom environment is key component to a successful learning experience. I want to create an inclusive for all children to learn. Here is a list of some items I will have in my future kindergarten classroom. First item on my list is a mini library that will have a variety of books. I will have it in the corner with a rug and beanbag chairs. I think that having books in my classroom is a great idea. Once students are done their work they may read a book from my mini library. In the morning…

The paper is about exploring the human health experience of the guest speaker who presented in the second week of class on Concepts and Narratives. The health experience of the speaker is shared to nursing students in order to understand the concerns that have shaped the speaker’s life and how students can learn from the situation. A discussion about the speaker’s determinants of health and factors that have shape their overall experience, a description of abstract concepts that stood out in the…

This article was written for beginning teachers for the purpose of organizing effective literacy classrooms. Because many teachers who were quite enthusiastic about teaching leave the profession in the first five years, the authors wrote this guide to help with the struggles of organizing and managing a classroom. The assumption that all classrooms are able to obtain supplies such as a special reading table just by asking the new principal shows that the authors are out of touch with the way…

I enjoy learning new things and expanding my horizon. I am not the type of person that will just sit and wait for someone to tell me what to do. I take initiative because it gives me a sense of control over a situation. For me, taking initiative shows that I am not afraid to explore and it gives me a sense of self. I believe that I definitely took initiative in preschool because I like to learn. I will consider myself to be that curious child in preschool because this is a time for a child to…

Analysis of a Learning Theory “Learning is often described as a process which leads to a permanent change in behaviour or a potential change” (allpsych.com). As we learn, the way we see the environment, how we interact with others and how we behave in social situations alters, often for the better. Learning is a continuous process however the way in which we learn depends on the techniques that we are taught, these are often called Learning Theory’s. A learning theory can be described as a…

highlights the importance of student’s prior knowledge, purposes of reading, and provides strategies to be used before, during, and after reading. Students must learn reading comprehension because without it reading does not provide the reader with any information. As a future educator, I will teach reading comprehension so I can help my students develop the knowledge, abilities, and experiences to become enthusiastic readers. Activating and using background knowledge is important to reading…

think modeling for schoolchildren is a foundation of scaffolding in my experience. I use my little boy as an example; I demonstrate or show him how to kick a ball and copy what I do in his own way and have fun at the same time. 2. Taping into prior knowledge Just as we do in this class, Dr. Stephanie encourages the class to read the weekly chapters…

The goal of this lesson was to describe how beneficial variations called adaptations influence an organism’s survival. I learned that animals adapt to survive an specific environment. I know this because, we did an activity where we had a spoon, a binder clip, tweezers, and a scissor to represent a bird’s peak and to see how each of these materials help to pick up paper clips, rubber bands, toothpicks, and macaronis which represented food. Each material was good at picking up food. For example,…

Strengths There are several strengths within Chapter 4. Neil Rigler and Ken Kramer teach an interdisciplinary high school class. Students are given individual choices to choose the books they read throughout the year in the class. This choice helped them work hard and invest time and effort in crafting their work. Their journal writing from the year have linked history, literature and their own personal experiences with coursework introduced to the by the reading, lectures, videos, and…

I have sage eyes. In a matter of seventeen years, I have experienced multiple ways of life. From witnessing the first signing of the Torah in Oklahoma, to living beside the Mexican border, my exposure to different backgrounds has diversified my being. My exposure to Jewish traditions brought me to the realization at a young age that religious views are different for everyone and that religion can be a way of life. When I moved to Arizona, half of the people around me spoke Spanish. My classmates…
